  • You are not a lawyer and have no clue what you are talking about. What documents are you saying were filed in court regarding SVA's settlement demands. These negotiations are not part of the trial you idiot.

  • Now these are damning points made by persons who know the Potter universe well. I have noticed inconsistencies as well, but not this many. The web-site pulls down her pants. I am reminded of the remake of Starwars where Greedo shoots first.

  • I like this post. If true, then Rowling's people have not exploited these facts with the media. Are these allegations though? It looks like you are pulling this stuff from the pleadings. They will always be the best case scenario for the party. If true, good points.

  • I agree. But should she sue? I think that is the point of the article.

  • I actually agree. She needs to keep her mouth shut and kill this thing. It is beneath her. However, the problem is that she has now drawn so much attention to this fight by her own doing, she almost has to win. What a huge mistake. She has judgment issues.

  • I'm a fan and a lawyer. I've litigated with Microsoft on copyright issues and it was no fun fighting that beast. On the other hand, let me say this, I have tried to respond to several posts and have found myself taking one side or the other. I've included attacks on Rowling and on SVA's publisher.

  • What are you talking about? There was no hidden conspiracy to publish it. However, SVA had his concerns and the publisher should have approached Rowling on this right out of the gate. You are dead right there. But the legal advice may have been there is no copyright claim on this issue.

  • I don't agree with everything posted, but if she is so good and so careful about her "blood sweat and tears" then what happened with Order of the Phoenix? The movie was a bastardization of the book and a laughing stock.

  • I'm glad of what you'd like to think, but your assertions are written as though you are in court. I like the point by point. blow by blow, but none of your claims are provable. Are you the judge? How can you state who lied and who didn't. I find that funny.

  • Yeah, but just because she has rights it doesn't mean the SVA work is worthy of her exercising them. The more I post on this issue though, the more I think she may be making a decent long-term decision. The PR has been terrible for her though.
